MOSCOW - It doesn't get much better than this for jazz lovers.

The stage Wednesday night at the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival was swinging as Latin Rhythms met Dizzy Gillespie.

The dance floor was hoppin' as artists like Jon Faddis, Byron Stripling, Claudio Roditi, James Moody and Jose Rizo´s "Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars" took the stage.

The three-hour show was filled with a variety of sounds, all pleasing to the ear. And there was even a little hot dance action on the stage during the Latin part of the show.

Shows continue through Saturday night. Friday night is standing room only for a concert featuring Bobby McFerrin.
